A save is credited based on when the pitcher enters the game, not what the score is in the 9th. If it was a save situation when the pitcher entered the game and he finishes the game without surrendering the lead, he will be credited with a save. I assume it was 3 runs or less lead going into the 8th. This rule is true in real life as well.
